40 - The Best Movie of 2009 with "Moon" in the Title!
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 9:12AM Now normally I'd use this space to give some witty teaser as to what is in this week's episode, but THIS week I would like to express my extreme disappointment that Sam Rockwell did not receive a nomination for his work in this film. It's rare that we get to see a performer of this caliber carry a movie entirely on his or her own, and Rockwell certainly rises to the occasion. This man is LONG overdue for an Academy Award nomination (and can someone post a better picture of him up on IMDB...).
Now with that out of the, let's dig into the 2009 Science Fiction CLASSIC 'Moon'!

When it hit Denver, it only was in 3-4 theaters. Not really a wide release. Which is sad. I saw a midnight show, and was blown away. Truly an awesome movie. Great choice! :)
Thanks for the linkage chaps :) Glad we can all help spread the word on MOON. Once again, great show!
Best film of 2009 for me, enjoyed it immensely and was glad it got a reasonable UK theatre run so I could catch it on the big screen. Stands out above many other sci-fi pieces in many ways, perhaps because it doesn't lead into technobabble and cliché as so many do.
Now, this made me really angry, although I knew it would beforehand, but I didn't want to miss your review anyway.
Man, this movie sucks. I so wanted to like it, and literally everybody whose opinion I respect does like it (well, except for my girlfriend who watched it with me, and I'm not completely sure if she really hates it as much as I do or she just doesn't want to fight).
To me, this movie is everything that's wrong with science fiction. It's boring, it's painful to watch all the way through, and the ending - twist? what twist, confound it all? - is so unbelievably uninteresting that I still ask random people for my money back for this stinking heap of rubbish that is Moon.
Sorry. I'm done now.
